City host Huddersfield Town in the Vertu Trophy Round of 32 on Tuesday 2 December (7pm KO).
Hear the pre-match thoughts of Michael Skubala and goalkeeper Zach Jeacock, as well as familiarising yourself with the key pre-match information in our preview.
Michael Skubala:
"It is important that we put a team on the pitch that can be really competitive. We have players who are in need of a chance to show what they can do, so there will be changes.
"We need to get the balance of that right, because we want to put a team out there that will give us the best opportunity of getting through to the next round."
Zach Jeacock:
"During my time here, I feel like I've massively developed my own game. There is a really exciting project here and it is only going in one direction, so it is something that I really want to be a part of.
"When the opportunity of a new deal came around for me it was an easy decision and I'm delighted to have committed my future long-term."
